Mary Jane Rathbun aka Brownie Mary was an elderly woman known for illegally baking and distributing cannabis brownies to AlDs patients in the 1980s. Despite several arrests her defiant stance & grandmotherly image garnered sympathy & media attention helping shift the perception of medical cannabis.
At first, she didn’t see herself as an activist, she just wanted to help people in pain. She volunteered at a hospital in San Francisco, often bringing her brownies to patients who were too weak to eat or constantly battling nausea.
Over time, her quiet acts of kindness became a form of civil disobedience. She testified in court, spoke to the media, and became a powerful symbol in the fight to legalize medical cannabis, proving that compassion can be a driving force for real change
